In Vitro Fertility Success.
Introduction.
Our modern world is constantly evolving, and as technology advances, new methods of handling past issues are created to resolve these issues. Breakthrough technological advances in the health and medicine world have brought about new approaches and solutions to barren women, especially those with hostile uteruses and other ovular-related genetic complications that disable fertilization in the fallopian tube. One of these technological advances is In Vitro Fertility, abbreviated simply as IVF.
In Vitro Fertility is defined as a treatment method whereby a healthy male sperm and female ovum from healthy men and women are fertilized outside the fallopian tube and uterus to achieve a healthy zygote (Australian Government, 2021). This treatment plan usually involves extraction of the woman’s ova from her ovaries and fertilizing them with the sperm of a healthy sperm donor under well-conditioned embryo cultures within a laboratory setting. They are then closely monitored for three to six days before implanting one of the healthy embryos back to the woman’s uterus through the cervix.
A lot of money has been invested in the success of IVF treatment. Some of the leading investors include the Federal Government and significant clinics in the private sector. The Australian Government has created a website whereby the public can easily access different IVF clinics’ success rates. Additionally, comparisons can be made by patients seeking to go the IVF way to find the best clinics that offer quality medical treatment within this field. This website entitled, YourIVFSuccess, has impacted the IVF industry both positively and negatively. Since creating this website, there have been mixed reactions among the different clinics that offer this treatment plan, as they will be discussed later on in this paper.
The success of IVF treatment depends on several factors, including the woman’s age, medical equipment, type of infertility diagnosis, and treatment plan. Since IVF treatment is regarded as a cycle treatment plan, there are several stages towards achieving a healthy pregnancy, and if a single-phase fails, the whole treatment plan crumbles down to pieces. These stages include; ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, fertilization, embryo culture, fresh embryo transfer, embryo freezing (for the remaining embryos the embryologists did not choose for the transplant), and finally, conducting a pregnancy test.
All the above stages must be executed for any clinic to be given an IVF license permit. Once an IVF clinic has been cleared, they are then recorded on the Federal Government’s website. The clinic’s success rates for every patient they handle with an infertility problem are uploaded. Availing this information has been made possible because all Australian accredited IVF clinics provide data to the Australian and New Zealand Assisted Reproduction Database (ANZARD) (Australian Government, 2021).
Purpose of the Calculator.
The primary purpose of creating the website and its predictor tool is to provide data to the Australian public on their chances of having a baby. Once someone visits the website, they fill in their details, including age, previous diagnosis and IVF treatments, after which the calculator estimates their chances of success through this method (Aubusson, 2021).
Additionally, another purpose for this website was to provide clarity and transparency of the IVF industry in Australia, which seemed hidden according to the general public’s opinion. This website will unmask the clinics that generally exaggerate their figures and increase their success rates. This website will showcase their falsified data to the general public to know the clinics with irregularities (Hicks, 2020, pg. 95).
Influence of the IVF success website on demand (Australian public).
As it has been established above, the main reason behind the creation of this website is to display the collected data from the Australian and New Zealand Assisted Reproduction Database (ANZARD) about the success rates of the various clinics in the IVF industry, by the Australian Government, to the Australian population. Therefore, the availability of this information to the public will help the families seeking to try this approach to conceive children, know the best clinics where they can get the best treatment plan that suits them. This knowledge is essential because spouses who once considered themselves infertile get an opportunity to try the IVF approach and treatment plan before considering other options such as adoption.
Once the general public is appropriately informed about the IVF industry and its chances of success using the IVF method, demand will increase. This increase will result from the trust established between the consumers and the supplier, in this case, the IVF clinics, through the Government’s IVF success website, which acts as the middleman.
Influence of the IVF success website on supply (IVF clinics and the industry at large).
. The IVF success predictor will influence supply positively and negatively. The positive note entails establishing integrity in the IVF industry at large, which was initially deemed dark by the Australian public (Aubusson, 2021). Therefore, if demand increases due to this new trust, suppliers of IVF services will be advantaged and earn more income, unlike when the website predictor was not established.
Additionally, the IVF website predictor will create healthy and transparent competition among IVF service providers. This competition will arise because once most IVF clinics realize they have comparative success rate figures, hospital treatment charges will probably be standardized across the industry, ensuring this transparency is maintained.
Unfortunately, through the Federal Government’s website predictor, families who fill in their details and realize that their chance of success is low will give up on this small percent and explore other options. When this happens, most IVF clinics will lose patients who in some cases would have conceived children through this method, yet they did not take the chance because the numbers as per the website’s predictor were low.
Potential consequences and impact of the IVF success website on the IVF industry.
The creation of this website will generally lead to improved IVF treatment plans and methods in the long term. However, to reach its goals, there are several obstacles to overcome along the way. Some of these obstacles include; excessive competition between IVF clinics within the country, increased hospital charges in the frequently visited clinics based on their success rates, and closure of those clinics with low success rates.
Potential unforeseen consequences.
The creation of the website by the Federal Government will prompt most IVF clinics to improve the quality of care they provide for their patients. The owners of different IVF clinics have to ensure that their respective clinics drastically improve their numbers and have better successful outcomes for every patient that enters their facility. Whereas this is considered an advantage in most instances, this will lead to the cut-off type of competition. The fittest strives to survive at all costs, even if it means eliminating the weak. It is known that few patients go to hospitals to seek IVF treatment due to infertility problems, and therefore, most clinics that provide IVF treatment can accommodate as many patients as they come (Hicks, 2020, pg. 142). Therefore, the management of most IVF clinics will look for any irregularities in others to terminate them to gain more ground and control in the IVF industry.
Another consequence is corruption and other government-related scandals that may arise from establishing this website by the government. The invention of this website also created a platform where primary IVF clinics and other influential stakeholders can manipulate government officials and those within this department to falsify records to suit their interests. As a result, these primary IVF clinics can comfortably boast about their success figures, all to the disadvantage of smaller clinics, yet this information is incorrect. Therefore the government will mislead the general public into frequently visiting the wrong clinics, minimizing their chances of getting healthy babies.
Positive Impact
The creation of the website database by the government will further increase research in IVF treatment. This research is vital because there is a lot to be learned from In Vitro Fertility technology. Most clinics will be led to research more on the subject to develop better outcomes that will increase their success rates. This research will need funding which will prompt IVF clinics to look for investors. Therefore, by creating the website, the government will drive investors in the IVF industry to add more money to advance research in this emerging industry.
Once money has been added to this industry, the IVF industry in Australia will exponentially grow, making Australia one of the leading countries in IVF research and treatment. This growth will attract foreign patients from other countries who seek solutions to infertility problems. As a result, more revenue will be earned from this industry from foreigners. These foreigners will increase the demand for more IVF clinics and medical specialists, such as embryologists and others familiar with this field (Hicks, 2020, pg. 99). Therefore, more employment opportunities will be created, which will improve the living standards of the medical practitioners involved in this industry and put a smile on most patients who will benefit from this mode of infertility treatment. In such a case, everybody wins.
In conclusion, technology has brought about new safe and secure options, which ancient people did not have. Therefore, embracing it through In Vitro Fertility treatment as a mode of infertility treatment will change most spouses who need children yet have infertility problems. The creation of the IVF success website by the Australian Federal Government is a step towards marketing this industry. People with infertility problems can know more about IVF and try it as an option.
